I dropped off some Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and a batch of oatmeal, craisin, chocolate chip and black walnut cookie bars at the Pines - hope you enjoy them!

The cupcakes are heavenly!!! If anyone else wants one they better hurry.

Good afternoon, MMC!

I dropped off some Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and a batch of oatmeal, craisin, chocolate chip and black walnut cookie bars at the Pines - hope you enjoy them! I barely had time to get a cup of Carl's special brew before I headed back to work. Not sure what was in it, but I have gotten my second wind - it is going to be a productive evening! If I can, I'll stop in on my break cheesy

Have a MERRY time tonight!!!

Thanks so much Meceka! Hope the rest of your night of work goes fast! Don't work too hard. See you later! :hi:

I'm thinking one of Carl's deep dish meat lovers pizza's.

Pizza does sound good, but we had that for lunch. We have pizza way to much in this house - you can imagine how much a 2 1/2 year old requests pizza.

How about breakfast for dinner? Pancakes, Sasuage, Eggs, Hashbrowns.

CAH's uncle passed away suddenly this morning. This comes as a shock as it was totally unexpected, he had some health issues and was sick these past few days, but it didn't seem all that serious. In fact he was planning on going to the doctor today if he didn't feel any better. We appreciate any and all thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We used to go over his house every Christmas Eve which was always a good time, in fact I think he had his tree up before we did every year. I am sure this coming Christmas will be very difficult as well. Thanks.

I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers going out to all of you.

MMMM...that sounds really good. That is an idea! I guess it's what ever DH and EA decide here, but they better decide soon.

Thank you for letting us know, will be praying for the whole family

So is the politically correct term for Christmas Nut: Winter Season Celebration Steward? or Holiday Enthusiast?

how about...

Yuletide Deranged

I have to share - my niece stayed with us over the weekend (she's 20) - Saturday afternoon it was just her & I at home & she was in the shower bellowing "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas" 1st I thought what in the heck is she singing....then I cracked up! LOVE HER! And every day at some point since Saturday, I have found myself singing "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas..." So I have already had my 1st Chrsitmas Caroler of 2012!

I love it!!!

Made: DH decided he wants Texas Hotdogs. Have you ever eaten at one when you've been up here? It's very good.

Okay ... it's open season on the snowflakes afghan. The auction is up and running! Deadline for bids is two weeks from today, May 9th. If you have any questions, please send me a PM (rather than posting in the Countdown).

thank you!

Not too bad! I went to a Survivors Benefit last night and learned that the American Cancer Society might be able to help us with a gas card during my treatments. The treatment center is 78 miles away (one way) so the extra money would definitely help us!

so glad they are there to help out, with the price of gas right now it will be much needed!
